how SEO has really evolved? Because it all revolves around content. 20 years ago, would you agree that when you create content, a lot of it was keyword stuffing? Yeah. We would create content for robots. Yeah. You put in the keywords. Spinners, all that stuff. Yes. Yeah. Okay, and then 10 years ago, we started really creating content for humans and we focused on humans more than anything else. Readability, flow, storytelling, super in-depth.
